I’ve been wielding a camera for years, shooting everything from weddings and ad campaigns to standing in the rain trackside at Silverstone. These are some of the things I have done and learnt over the years.
I've gone back into my archive for today's Photo of the Week. I saw this monster Mk I Ford Escort at The Fast Show 2012 being wheeled out by a group of people and fired off a few shots but got nothing special. It wasn't until the bonnet was lifted and they gathered...
Any shows at the National Exhibition Centre are notoriously difficult to shoot. Orange overhead lights, red carpet, messy backgrounds and crowds of people make it hard to come away with anything other than snapshots. I like the challenge though. It makes me think...
This weekend was a particularly high tide in the UK and lucky my part of the world managed to avoid the worst of the storms. That meant high tide this morning was less life threatening than it could have been but still gave a an unusual view of the waterfront at...
Here's a photo taken earlier this year in a cattle shed near Coventry for today's Photo of the Week. The event was Race Retro and between sessions on the mini rally stage a selection of classic rally cars gathered in the makeshift parc ferme. When left to it's own...
Light is everything in photography and sometimes it's so good it'll make you stop the car, grab your camera and jump over hedges to capture it. That's what happened on Boxing Day two years ago. I was cresting a hill not far from where I lived and saw the rays of light...
Today's Photo of the Week popped back up on my radar recently as it's being printed on perspex to be hung in an office in Glasgow. It might not be obvious at first glance that this was shot at about 11pm on a clear moonlit night but if you look at the blurred blades...
Today’s photo was taken just after dawn at the Bristol Balloon fiesta. Just before the sun rises about a hundred teams spring into action, unfurling huge balloons out on the launch field at Ashton Court. This image intentionally looks pretty calm but just out of frame...
For this week's photo you can probably tell I wasn't actually behind the camera! I've positioned my GoPro Hero 3 against a tyre wall and retreated to a safe distance. If you look carefully, you'll see me in front of the Race2Recovery truck on the right, leaning over...
This image was taken a few years ago as a Get Off My Ass mission - I'd not been out with my camera for a while and decided that tonight would be the night. I don't recall what gave me the idea but I decided on shooting some light trails and fired up Google Maps to...
As you’d expect from its name the Fire Force jet car is fast but I think the sheer amount of noise it produces is what makes it hard to shoot. Couple that with the fact it’s literally halfway down the strip at Santa Pod in the blink of an eye and you'll understand why...
